Some weeks ago Maj. Benz. p.
Moore, government agent for the
Colville Indians, departed for the
east, ostensibly upon business con-
nected with his position. While
this was one of the reasons for his
departure it was not the one alone,
for the gentleman left here
with the express determination Of
enlisting mOnied men at the east
into Il scheme for establishing a
smelter in the Colville mining dis
trict, or more properly speaking a
system of smelters. He has exam.
ined the field very closely during
his residence in Stevens county, and
he felt abundantly satisfied that the
syndicate or company that first oc.
cupied the ground would be in pO.
sition to largely monopolize the
great volume of business to grow out
of the development of the numerous
mineral deposits within easy reach
from the Ealls. Armed with this
good resolution and determination
to make his point Maj. Moore first
aroused an Interest i'm his father, j.
). Moore, Esq, of New York, Il gen.
tleman not only of large means him
self but of great influence, and it was
not long before private company,
representing unlimited capital, was
organized TO carry on the business of
buying ores, reducing and smelling
the same in the COlville district.
Mr.. j. $. Moore is the leading spirit
in the enterprise, and from the fact
that Senator Jones, the famous min
ing king of Nevada, is enthusias-
tichlly interested in the project
insures for it the confidence OF the
people of the west. The proposition
Is to put UP sampling works and an
experimental twenty ton smelter at
some available locality in the Col
vile district, and when it is found
that 1t Is a success put up large and
extensive smelter at Spokane Falls

good work that the company did
was to secure the services of Mr..
Geo. Vivian as superintendent of
the works, who was John w.
Mackey's expert for years, and the
reporter was shown a letter from
Mr.. Mackey himself highly recon-.

The next day Mr.. Dubois went

when it was brought in, and knew
nothing of it. Search was institut-

seen a seedy looking fellow the

Two of Braskie's cowboys, Car
men and Saddler had a lively ex-
perience with a couple of grizzlies
on Portneuf last week. They came
up suddenly on the bears in
meadow and Saddler opened fire
with his navy six on one and Car
men attacked the other with his
lasso. Carmen is better with his
rope than he is with a six shooter
on the run. The first throw missed
its aim but the second roped the
grizzly and then came the fun. Tho
bear seized the rope in his teeth
and Carmen then turned and at
tempted to shoot him but dropped
the cylinder of his pistol and could
not dismount in the face of the
angry beast to get it. He then tied
his rope to his saddle and put spurs
to his stced and away he dashed at
Gilpin's race with the unwilling
bear close at the heels of the excit-
ed horse. Making a circuit of a
quarter of mile he returned with
his game so exhausted that he ven-
tured to dismount for his pistol,
and gaining it fred number of
shots and killed his bear; but Sad
dler was not so fortunate; he kept
up a regular fusilade on his rstreat-
ing bear wounding it at every shot
until it escaped in the thick brush
on the banks Of the riyer.

WEISER LEADER.

The shin bone of a nlastodon,
measuring twenty-five inches in
circumference, can be seen in the
show window of the Elk Horn
drug store. This huge bone is pet
rifed, and was found in Sand Hol-
low, up the Weiser river. The
larger portion of the bone was de-
cayed, and it is estimated that it
must have been at least forty
inches around the joints.
r. J. Burke's log drive passed
the bridge and will soon be at the
mill. AS the river is very low,
every log has to be rolled and han
died, thus making progress very
slow. Several of the larger logs
were left several miles above here,
and will be brought down here
during the fall. Taking it all
through, the boys have hadc a rath-
er tough time of it, although no

Thursday a week. He had been to
Kelton after supplies and started
home dead drunk. From all ap-

him and the horses became entan-

starvation. He was found at the
mouth of the canyon just over the
Idaho line in Utah. The coroner
of Boxelder county, Utah, held an
inquest over the remains and rem
dered a verdict of accidental death,
caused by intoxication. The re-

to see the country and educate
them they would ship our officials
at Washington, who are admins

the country and learn something OF
the circumstances Of the people
whom they are governing they
would be much better educated as to

OBSTACLES OF JUSTICE.
Sentiment of the New York Press Oh
the Sharp Decision.

New YORK, Nov. 30 Special Telegram
to the BEE In regard to the Sharp dcci-
sion the Times says: ''We are bound to
accept as conclusive the unanimous decision
of the court of appeals as to the evidence that
isudmlssable on trial for bribery What it
declares 10 be the law on the question, how
ever it may differ from the views of other
jurists equally able and equally upright, is
law so far as the prosecution of bribery cases
in this city is concerned. But candor com
pcls us to say that this Interpretation of the
law makes the law defeat justice. 1t makes
it practically impossible to convict any man
of giving bribcs, if he employs as shrewd and
unscrupulous lawyers, as Jacob Sharp did to
guide his steps and to coverup his tracks. No
intelligent man in this community doubts
was overwhelmingly proved and that he
ought to suffer the penalty prescribed by law
for his offensc, but the court of appeals
sweeps away the most material part of the
evidence by which the proof was established
and practically says that though guilty, he
must 20 free, because the ancient safeguards
of the law have become obstacles of Justice
The other papers take about the same view
of the situation and express the belief that
this will end all attempts to send to Sing Sing
any more of the alderman boodlers. BY the
end of the week Jacob Sharp will be out on
bail. District Attorney MARITIME and his as
sistant, Delaney Nicoll, go out of the Office
on January /, so that it will be impossible to
place the great boodlor again under the pres
ent administration .Sharp's health is com
petely broken. He sits in his chair il Il

down and he cannot be'induced to take any
